The Flyers are visiting the John Labatt Centre for the ninth time; however, it is the first time they’ll play the Red Wings there. The arena is managed by Global Spectrum, a subsidiary of Flyers parent company Comcast-Spectacor. Global Spectrum manages more than 100 public assembly facilities around the world.

“London truly is our home away from home," said Comcast-Spectacor President and Global Spectrum Chairman Peter Luukko. “The fan support in London for the Flyers is outstanding. The John Labatt Centre is a fantastic hockey arena that our players enjoy visiting. To be playing the Detroit Red Wings in London is a dream match-up for hockey fans in Southwestern Ontario and Eastern Michigan. It’s going to be a terrific night of hockey in the City of London.”

Tickets for the Flyers-Red Wings game at the John Labatt Centre are on sale now. Tickets for the remaining Flyers preseason games, as well as a broadcast schedule, will be announced at a later date.
